If you could look like anything...anything at all....what would you look like? I'd be the wind.
...........It's easy to be someone's friend when all you need is someone to console you. It's much harder to be there for them when they're happy all the time.
.............Even when I say nothing, it's a beautiful use of negative space.

Top 10 Reasons Why I Love Nora(in no particular order) by Angela Blair
* We formed a fast and faithful friendship on a message board. It was just a matter of months before we were fake married and divorced on the board. We are bff. * For years she patiently listened to me complain during my “never getting laid/lonely” phase. She stuck by me in my “obnoxious, obsessed with my uninterested coworker” phase. And she even still loves me during my "currently getting laid and telling her all the details” phase (my personal favorite). * She flew all the way from Chicago to NYC to hang with me for 2 days…she’s doing it again this Spring, except this time she’s coming to Charlottesville. * She doesn’t complain when I live vicariously through her Jewishness. * She kept the chocolate dreidel I gave her for almost a full year. * She buys the BEST Christmas presents. * She has no hesitation about wanting to get in my pants and fully admits that she is this guy. * She loves Hedwig and the Angry Inch just as much as I do. * If I were ever on the run from the law and needed someplace to hide out, She’d have a place for me no questions asked. Well, probably a few questions asked. * She just sent me this text message: “Also, this thong is riding up my ass in many many ways”.

make it a note
Stolen from Angie's facebook:
Angie removed the rules, because eff that. Repost and make your own if you want to but don't feel obligated to do it because she tagged you (and she did.). She tagged you because you're awesome and you should know it. You don't even have to read beyond this point. It's pretty boring/common stuff. She's tagging people that she thinks will appreciate specific numbers. Try to guess which one you are (because everyone who reads this blog is hereby "tagged").
1. Oftentimes, my favorite part of coming to work is socializing with my coworkers, because I know this is my only venue to do so.
2. Pranks are way under-used, in general.
3. Sometimes I still worry that I'm never going to get married.
4. There are very little words for how excited I am for Erik's wedding. I've been waiting for this for 7 years.
5. I'm a little more excited about the mini-oemb party in March, but I feel like it's unfair to say so.
6. I've always been jealous of Hannah for her eloquence.
7. I'm not nearly as smart as I pretend to be.
8. I can get away with playing the "dumb girl" card, and so I do more than I should (ever).
9. I worry that my glory years were in high school, and it'll never be that good again.
10. When I think about who I was in high school, I think I really have become everything I didn't want to. And now that it's happened, I'm okay with it.
11. I wish I could lie better. I'm terrible at poker.
12. I might have a gambling problem.
13. Being a homeowner (almost) is kind of the scariest thing I've ever had to do.
14. I hope I never get transferred to another regional office. I am absolutly in love with Chicago.
15. I'm a lot closer with my oemb friends than with most people I spend time with in person.
16. I don't know how much of my life is a secret.
17. My mother is my best friend, and I don't feel at all weird saying so.
18. I miss my dad a lot, and I feel like I'm disrepecting my step-dad (whole step-family, really) because of it.
19. Usually when I dream about my family, my dad is there and my step-family isn't. This really, really bothers me. I don't want to think that, on any level, I don't consider them family.
20. I wish I had a closer relationship with my sister. I don't think that's ever going to happen.
21. I honestly don't know what I'd do without Angie. What was I like before you, lady?
22. The thing I miss most about college is meeting famous people.
23. I want the first dance at my wedding to be to The Beach Boys's "G-d Only Knows."
24. I should really quit this journal thing, I don't even know what I'm saying anymore.
25. Woot I actually finished! That actually took me about 8 hours.
the in-progress debate over this poster is over what the soundtrack would be if this were how Obama entered the inauguration. My friend thinks the headbanging portion of Bohemian Rhapsody, but I think the theme from Shaft is much more fitting. Input?

be civil
i don't really have anything to say or things my mother has said that i think are fantastic, so here's a clip of kathy griffin stand up that i've been watching (listening to) on repeat all day:

i remember
yet another example of why my mother is awesome:
me: Glenn just crushed me in cribbage Amy: ok that's not ok first of all, you come from serious cribbage stock second, why aren't you both actually working me: it was lunch hour! and his idea i'm allowed to not be doing work if it's initiated by my boss Amy: did you forget how to count to 15? ALWAYS hold for the double run me: and he got like 4 hands in a row with double runs/something that added up to 15 Amy: your father is spinning in his grave me: haha ouchh! Amy: i think you should challenge Glenn to a match in mahjongg me: 2 handed mahj? Amy: will he know the difference? me: true Amy: we should practice some cribbage, or were you just unlucky? me: i think he was just luckier than i was but i'm always up for cribbage Amy: when i worked at Kroch's, my boss taught me to play backgammon, and then I would go home and kick your father's butt at it. oops, gotta go sweetie

waiting for you
holy shit only one more day until the best inauguration ever! i'm a little mad everything happens during the day, 'cause i was really hoping for some sort of gobama party. i'll just have to settle for listening to msnbc all day at work and dancing around my apartment once i get home. i also really wanted to bring my mother's life sized obama cardboard cutout to work with me (and also bring a bible so we could reinact the inauguration), but aparently my aunt stole it from my mother or something so it's not available. it would have also been fairly awkward to bring on the train with me, so it might be for the best.
